Volturi Revealed: Meet Marcus

Special Abilities: He sees the strength of the relationships between people “You already know what you’ll do, Aro.”

CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:
Marcus is the most detached of the Volturi leaders. The loss of his mate has essentially turned him into a zombie over the centuries. He is surprised by the intensity of Bella and Edward’s relationship.

VOLTURI
1) The Volturi include: Aro, Caius, and Marcus as the leaders, and then Jane, Alec, Demetri, Felix, Heidi, and several other unnamed members of the guard.
2) The Volturi are similar to a ruling body, and protect the secret of vampires by wiping out any “problems” as vampire law defines.
3) The Volturi live in an ancient Tuscan city called “Volterra”.
4) Aro and Jane’s powers do not work on Bella.

Director Chris Weitz on the Volturi —
“No matter how strange one of the characters is in a work of fantasy, I think you have to approach them as people and then so you start to think, ‘They’ve been around for 2,000 years. How would they interact with one another?’ The conclusion was that after 2,000 years you’d probably be more than mildly insane. No matter how cultured or gracious you appear on the surface. And I think that’s what Michael Sheen managed to portray as Aro, the head of the Volturi — on the surface he’s terribly gracious, warm, a wonderful host and at the same time he’s lethal and frightening. It’s also what Dakota Fanning conveys as Jane. She’s innocent looking in appearance but she’s absolutely deadly. The first thing I wanted to do was put them in a setting that wasn’t Dracula’s castle. There have been so many vampire movies and werewolf movies and horror movies where everything has been dark and dreary. Instead, their headquarters is surprisingly light and crisp. And the characters that they play have a kind of a tactile reality to them in spite of how bizarre their situation is really. The whole point is not to leave Forks, Washington where everything has really been quite realistic and then suddenly go to a location that completely throws you out of the movie. And the set although it’s huge and grand and magnificent actually feels like a real place.”

Aro is a used car salesman???? lol I think it’s the suit I’m not digging. He’d look more menacing with the robe. I think I imagined all of them more… creepy and frail-looking, I guess. But I’m sure they’ll look more convincing to me in video. Marcus is definitely my favourite look so far.

Well i think they are all great actors without a doubt but i think alec and jane look the best. Casius reminds me of draco.the rest i dont know if its the back round but just looks cartoonish to me I cant explain it right.. Cant wait new moon.. YESSSS

marcus looks a lot more like aro than aro does.
caius is supposed to have white hair, not blond.
jane’s eye makeup looks absolutely ridiculous.
alec and jane look nothing alike and alec looks like a joke.

I think they all look great…to be honest…better than I expected…my favorite is Alec..he has that deadly gorgeous look…and Aro is perfect…I have no doubt that Michael Sheen have done an amazing job portraying Aro…his face in that pic tells you everything. Dakota looks great too…she has that innocent-deadly look in her…great job Chris! I can’t wait to see the movie…
BTW..are there any pics of Demetri? I wanna see him so bad! LOL

Alec= sexiness XDDD
Jane= perfection, i do love her look,it’s amazing! And hey, twins can be FRATERNAL (that’s for the people who complain about jane & alec)
Cauis= honestly, i was scared of jamie campbell bower being caius, but my opinion is starting to waver. the still made a diff
aro= i’m not crazy bout the mane but it’ll do i suppose. the facial expression is perfection, i love the look!
marcus= ew. i imagined marcus as much younger and well…better looking. marcus in my head would have a more dead-looking expression and his hair wouldn’t look curly like bella’s…my marcus had straight hair, just a little past chin-length, and was younger…perhaps thirty-ish? idk marcus was the only one i wasn’t so crazy about…

hmmmm….im not sure what I think about the three heads yet. Jane and Alec look great. I wasnt too happy with Fanning as Jane, but she looks like she can pull if off. As for Aro, Marcus and Caius….eehh…we’ll see

Jane and Alec look great… the rest of the Volturi don’t look EXACTLY how I pictured them but its not bad. I think they look pretty good. I bet they’ll look even better when they’re not set against a background like that.

i was wondering when they were going to show us a picture of the volturi but i wasnt expecitng the bios and stuff that was great!!! i dont like dakota fanning but i cant argue that she looks perfect as Jane and i like Alec but the other 3 are just..ok..for me Aro looks soo weird not at all hwo i pictured himb ut oh well they are still good and the movie will still be awesome!!!!!

OH MY GOSH!!!! ARO IS PERFECT!! I mean aside from the whole not wearing a robe thing, HE’S ABSOLUTELY FREAKING PERFECT!!!!!!! I thought the actor had the right look and this just proves it. And I have to say, Marcus actually looks quite good. I had a hissy fit when I first saw pictures of Jamie but now I think they’ve just redeemed themselves for picking him. I still think he should look older, but he came out VERY close to how I pictured him. Alec I’m not so crazy about. I can’t quite put my finger on why. Marcus is great. AND JANE IS FANTASTIC!!! Not quite the way I picture her, but this look totally works for me. All in all, I love!!! <3<3<3

I absolutely shrieked when I saw that picture! It’s the first I’m seeing the pic of a Volturi member. I love the way Chris Weitz thinks. I have a very good feeling about New Moon. Can’t he also be the director of Breaking Dawn?

I love Jane’s shoes cause it tells that she’s innocent when she’s really not, haha. I don’t like Aro’s hair, ugh. Though I think the suit if fitting. And Caius hair looks too fake as well for my taste. But other than that they all look spectacular.

Right ONNNNNNN!!!! See what happens when you burn little children!!!! {Silent Hill} Ha Ha!!! Props to them-Fab Vamps! I wish I could hang with the Volturi and bite some peeps!!!! I like my meat well done!!!! LOL- Really, that Jaimie Bower is Rockin with those robes on! WooooEEEEE! Bye twilight friends! Love those little maryjanes-I wonder if they will have them at Nordstroms after they premiere the movie!!! Ha Ha!!!!

Over all I’m pretty happy! They all look very awesome! The only problems I have are Caius’ hair should be white or at least white blonde, Jane has on to much eye make up, Aro should be in a robe, and I think the guy playing Marcus looks a little to old. Every thing else is awesome though! Love the pics!

my only real complaint is probably Cauis. That blond wig, is not working–at all. I don’t really understand how you can go wrong with the description of “white-haired ancient vampire” but apparently, it is possible.

ehh. Jane and Alec don’t look like twins. and Jane is supposed to be androgynous, meaning not looking like a complete girl. the heaving heavy eye makeup on isn’t working either. i like Marcus, Aro, and Caius look really good though

Wow, just when I think I can’t get any more excited for this movie! I’ve been waiting for this moment ever since the NM casting was announced… I think all the Volturi look amazing! I can’t even pick a favorite. Jane and Alec are spot-on. They look young without being children, and they’re both beautiful and terrifying at the same time.

And I’m in love with Michael Sheen as Aro. I can’t wait to see his performance! Marcus definitely has the look of a heartbroken zombie, haha… I’m also looking forward to seeing Jamie pull off Caius and all his anger issues. I think all three of them are going to surprise everybody in November. I can’t wait!

Seriously, Chris Weitz is my hero for doing such genius casting. (Well, as far as I can tell, anyway! We’ll see for sure when the movie comes out.)

Um, so…yeah…They all pretty much FRICKEN ROCK!
Although I thought Caius would have more pearl-white hair, but Jamie looks great! They are all fricken awesome! Dakota looks absolutely perfect. The kid who plays Alec, oh yummy hahaha and Michael Sheen and the Marcus guy look superb! This will be an amazing movie!
